And I'm not surprised to see the MS actress tap out in the same circumstances as last time. Her first appearance she tapped out as soon as the free fish from her gill net dried up. This time they showed her scavenging for onions on day 9, so no fish there.

Time for the MS act! It can't be missing the step-daughter again this time, so it has to be MS and I have to fully commit!

Also, am I wrong or is this the first season where anyone actually got a kill with the bow?

I agree with all of your assessments. This season is shaping up great so far. I think based on what i've seen from this and Naked and Afraid the Loneliness and mental aspect is the greatest challenge. I think all of them have built great shelters and so far food sources are kinda okay.. but alas. Winter is coming and we all know this is where they will start dropping like flies.

There are no cameramen with these contestants. They are completely alone and film everything themselves. They have an emergency beacon if they are seriously hurt and have a tap out call they can make when they want to go home. It's more real than the show Alaskan bush family which was totally fake and all lies.

Yeah, I think after 5 seasons and 8 pages in this thread people pretty much figured that out by now.

He was tough, and he outlasted the second place guy. That's always going to happen in this series, barring sudden accidents.

And if I get your point, they weren't surprised by going on the show, everyone could have prepared in the same way.

I know it's not realistic, but I'd love to see a future contestant just build a straight up small cabin. Imagine being in such a good position from a food standpoint, that you get a smaller one of these going while you're bored:
